About Us

ORIGINS AND EVOLUTION

The company was founded in 1876 in Dunedin, New Zealand, by John Donaghy. A determined and hard working man whose vision left the legacy that is today a name synonymous with rope, cordage and extruded and injected plastics in Australasia. The company was built on a work ethic that continues today.

Now a reputable and integral part of the rural community, Donaghys is a ‘can do’ company dedicated to growth opportunities, research and development and keeping pace with the ever changing requirements of progressive industries. As such, Donaghys has evolved into a leading supplier of performance products with a wider brief and an international attitude.
